DELTA G.E.M.S.
Delta G.E.M.S., formerly Delteens, is a continuation of our signature program, Delta Academy, which was created to “catch the dreams” of our adolescent girls aged 11-14. Delta G.E.M.S. (Growing and Empowering Myself Successfully) provides the framework to actualize those dreams through the performance of specific tasks and development of a "can do" attitude in high school girls ages 14-18.
The latest statistics reveal a steady decline in the enrollment of African-Americans in institutions of higher learning. As the job market becomes increasingly competitive and desirous of adroit employees, it is imperative that we become more active in providing the tools and skills that will equip our young women to attain a more productive quality of life. Delta G.E.M.S. can be viewed as a road map for college and career planning and will instill in girls the need to excel academically. It will also assist girls in proper goal setting and planning for the future beyond high school and will, hopefully, create compassionate, caring and community-minded young women by actively involving them in service learning and community service opportunities.
The Delta G.E.M.S. logo is likened to a gemologist who can see through the use of certain tools, the hidden treasure in unpolished jewels. Delta G.E.M.S. uses the polished jewels as a symbol of the many facets that shine and glow within our young African-American women. The program will be a means to encourage, develop and support young women to achieve their maximum potential. Delta G.E.M.S. - Discover the brilliance!
